Very cool mike!!!!

Now i can start my own paint shop! LOL!

Plenty of blood and sweat went into those im sure!

Nice bods! Nice write up!

Nice step by step Mike.

amazing ......simply amazing .....

Thank you Professor Czech!

One question...what pressure do you spray at when you are doing larger areas?

wow......nice write up mike also nice bodies.

yeah umm, so how do you do it?? lol........looks very hard and confusing to do. I guess you need a lot of patience

i thikn ill let you be the painter. lol

lol Dave, i usually spray at 35-40 for normal sections, large sections of white i crank it up to 50

Thanks. I guess I'll hook up to the Big Sears Compressor in the garage and paint before winter hits again! My indoor Paasche D compressor only hits 30 psi or so.

i like the big compressors they are loud when they kick on but they hardly kick on lol

Yeah mines got a BIG tank on it with a 2hp motor that's wired for 220v..so it lives in the garage. Works great painting real cars, too.

nice lol

Wow, Mike. That is a great write up.

A couple questions.

Do you put the templates of the design inside the body and "trace" it or do you just do it freehand?

And is there a specific reason you use the alcohol to remove the sharpie?

I am using a big air compressor in my garage. I think I am going to have to pick up a small one to paint in the winter.

ya i put the templates inside and trace it, I drew them out the first time i did the body on the body first, then traced that onto paper which i saved.

i use alcohol on the body cuz thats the only thing that gets the marker off lol

the one i got is nice 40$

I wouldnt' be able to draw that without making a mistake on the body.

What I meant to try and ask is that is there a specific reason you take the sharpie off?

ya cuz after i cut the first line it simplifies the design, just like i said it was important to make a fine line the first time, to trace the marker line, now when u do the pinstriping u only have one cut line to look at as opposed to the cut line and the marker line

Ok thanks a lot.

no problem

Hey, how long do you wait inbetween coats of liquid mask? Thanks.

Oh and could you pretty please with a cherry on top scan up some of your templates for us to use? Or would that ruin your business lol...

Draw your own. That is stealing his work.

lol ya i dont think i will be scanning any, feel free to copy them off my website but im not gonna post them on here lol

I wait till each coat is dry to the touch and u can see through it, it shouldnt look wet or milky blue at all
